    The eternal gates terrific porter lifted the northern bar:
    Thel enter'd in & saw the secrets of the land unknown;
    She saw the couches of the dead, & where the fibrous roots
    Of every heart on earth infixes deep its restless twists:
    A land of sorrows & of tears where never smile was seen.
